Are you feeling better?
Pei Wu hadn't met many men, but Shen Yu Nan's frail body left a deep impression on her. She remembered his pale face as he leaned against the door frame, coughing and panting after every few words... and the words he spoke to her the night before she returned to the real world.
“…” Jin Wei nodded.
"Tickets are being checked now, let's go in."
"Um."
The mall is always crowded, and today being the weekend, the cinema was also packed. Pei Wu and Jin Wei, who were about half a meter apart, bumped into each other amidst the throng.
"careful."
They both instinctively reached out to help each other, and their hands clasped together.
"..." Jin Wei hurriedly withdrew his hand, his eyes flickered a few times before he lowered them, and he took a few steps forward before Pei Wu, even coughing lightly twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Pei Wu glanced at her empty hand, smiled faintly, and followed.
This scene was strikingly similar to the time when the two of them collided in the corridor when they were teenagers, except that when the teenage Jin Wei withdrew, he glared fiercely at himself.
The film itself wasn't particularly outstanding, but certain scenes from the youth film evoked Pei Wu's childhood memories.
She remembered that she first met Jin Wei at a debate competition in high school. At that time, Jin Wei stood opposite her as her opponent. She clearly remembered the topic of that debate and the slight surprise that flashed across her face when she first saw Jin Wei.
Jin Wei's mixed-race appearance is indeed striking, and Pei Wu was no exception. However, this surprise was fleeting. What made her remember his name was what he said when he argued with her in fluent English.
She was momentarily stunned; her thoughts even coincided with his.
At this moment, the male lead's slightly red eyes in the movie reminded Pei Wu of Jin Wei's red eyes when they first met and he lost the game.
Looking back now, Pei Wu realizes that Jin Wei had been appearing in her life repeatedly since that debate competition, and the two of them gradually started to cross paths... In fact, Pei Wu only attended high school for a year and a half before going to university in the capital.
More than a year later, she and Jin Wei became university classmates. She learned that Jin Wei had come to Capital University when she was recruiting new members for a club. Pei Wu's club was related to game design and development, and Pei Wu's good friend Wei Guangmo was also in it... In fact, there weren't many people in this club, and the vast majority of them were students majoring in this field.
This club can be considered the prototype of 'BeiShang'. Many people who were in this club back then are now working for 'BeiShang'. These people have accompanied 'BeiShang' from a school club to a small company in its early stages, and now to its current scale.
Because they were in the same club, they started to interact more. Actually, before that incident, the two of them could be considered... friends.
But after that incident... not long after, Jin Wei went abroad.
'I wonder how he's been these past few years...'
Lost in thought, Pei Wu picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste brought her back to her senses. She then glanced at Jin Wei sitting next to her and handed him the box of popcorn.
"I remember you used to really like sweets."
The dim lighting, combined with the light reflected off the large screen onto Jin Wei's glasses, caused them to gleam slightly. He paused briefly before reaching for the popcorn and said, "President Pei's memory is as sharp as ever. However, I never expected that President Pei would be such a voyeur, and that he even knew I like sweets."
At this point, Jin Wei turned his head slightly to look at Pei Wu, and casually picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in his mouth. At such close range, Pei Wu could even smell the faint fragrance on Jin Wei.
He knew Pei Wu was referring to the time when he would often take a piece of candy out of his pocket and eat it.
“But what you don’t know, Mr. Pei, is…” Jin Wei suddenly drew out his tone, “During that period… I had some low blood sugar.”
“…” After a brief silence, Pei Wu said softly, “I know.”
When Jin Wei was surprised by Pei Wu's affirmative answer, Pei Wu continued, "However, you also really like the desserts at that shop near the school gate, don't you? Especially the chocolate cake. I've seen it several times, and every time the club has a AA-style dinner, you always try the dessert first. If it's not good, you frown in disgust, but if it's good, you'll eat more."
Because she was in the movie theater, Pei Wu kept her voice very low and turned her head slightly to get a little closer to Jin Wei.
Jin Wei, who had just been so eager to deny her, belatedly realized what was happening. As he turned to look at Pei Wu, his nose brushed against her hair, and the fragrance filled his nostrils...
'She not only noticed that she often reached for a piece of candy to eat, knowing she had low blood sugar, but she also knew she loved the desserts from the shop near the school...'
"I passed by that road the other day... and found that the shop is still open, and the storefront is even bigger now. Next time... do you want to go together?"
Jin Wei understood the implication in Pei Wu's words, his eyebrows lifted slightly, and he unconsciously chuckled softly, "President Pei, are you looking forward to our next date?"
"Yes," Pei Wu replied frankly.
Jin Wei remained silent, feeling the heat pack on his abdomen burning hot; he could even hear his own heart pounding wildly.
He clenched his fists tightly... then suddenly relaxed them after a moment.
Jin Wei suddenly felt that his actions were somewhat unnecessary. He had secretly loved Pei Wu for many years, and he was willing to give her his body... even willing to... Thinking of his two children, he unconsciously swallowed hard.
'Since she's interested and I'm interested, maybe... we could try being together... it wouldn't be a bad idea.'
